In second place is the oil company, BP, of which the Gulf of Mexico spill has been in the spotlight for the past two months, according to Spiegel.

The tobacco company Philipp Morris will, for the time being, hold the bronze medal of the Public Eye Awards.  According to the prize organizers, "This company fights hard against the anti-tobacco law in Uruguay and therefore places the public health of this country in danger."
